With over 15,000 hours total and more than 12,000 of those hours in tailwheel airplanes Joe Gauvreau has been instructing for the last 40 years.

During that time Joe has flown nearly every certified civilian aircraft and some military trainers with an impeccable safety record.

The one thing that Joe imparts to his students is RELAX, flying is fun, be one with the airplane. Once you capture these elements the seemingly impossible becomes second nature.

Joe has personally owned 34 aircraft, all of which have tailwheels, ranging from a 1939 Aeronca Chief with a 65HP Continental engine to a 1952 Cessna 195 (his wife’s favorite airplane) with a 300HP Jacobs (a Jake for all of you round engine guys).

Joe has ASMEL, SES,and Instrument ratings. He is a Certified Flight Instructor-ASMEL,SES. He also has an Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic Certificate. Joe started Aerosport Limited upon retirement from NASA in 2004 with the intent of teaching people to HAVE FUN FLYING!
